Furnishing Hope

Welcome home, Leveque Family 🧡 This week, we had the honor of creating a space of comfort and new beginnings for a wounded hero and their beautiful family.

To the Leveque family: thank you for your service and sacrifice. It is our privilege to serve you.🇺🇸

In 2025, Furnishing Hope furnished 181 homes across 37 cities in Southern California.

This chart highlights the top 10 cities we served, but behind every number is a family moving out of crisis and into a safe, dignified home. We are deeply grateful to our donors and community partners who make this work possible. Thank you! 🧡

In 2025, we turned empty spaces into 181 homes.🏠🧡

From beds to dining tables, every item helped create stability and dignity for families starting a new chapter. Thank you to everyone who was a part of this journey!

Meet Mr. Dawson, a proud U.S. Army veteran who served from 1988 to 1991 as a Bradley Fighting Vehicle mechanic. During his military service, he was awarded the Army Service Ribbon and the Army Achievement Medal and qualified as a sharpshooter with both the rifle and gr***de component bar. Due to his disability, he has faced significant challenges, and life after service hasn’t been easy. For years, Mr. Dawson lived in his apartment with just a bed and mattress, never able to furnish his space.
Thanks to a referral from L.A. Care and a conversation with our founder, Beth Phillips, Mr. Dawson received essential furnishings today, turning his empty apartment into a true home. 🏡
We’re proud to support veterans like Mr. Dawson and help bring dignity, comfort, and hope into their homes. 🇺🇸

🎉 Happy One-Year Workiversary, Jerry! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating ONE YEAR of having Jerry on the Furnishing Hope team—and what a difference he’s made. As our incredible truck driver and install pro, Jerry brings strength and a big heart to every home we furnish.

When he’s not on the road driving our truck, he’s at home cheering on the Cowboys and getting ready for his next big adventure—becoming a dad this October!

Join us in giving Jerry a big shoutout for his amazing first year. We can’t wait to see what the next one brings! 🏠🧡

We’re off to a strong start this year—62 families served and counting! That’s 70+ mattresses, 22 refrigerators, 150+ home setups, and over 80 lamps placed with love. Most homes we furnish are in Anaheim and Santa Ana, but we’ve gone as far as Victorville and San Diego to bring hope home this year. 💛
We're on track to furnish 125 homes in 2025—one of our biggest years!
